NEW: @lujan.senate.gov (D-N.M.) and @kaine.senate.gov (D-Va.) introduced the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Access Act, legislation to ensure older adults and people with disabilities have a real choice between receiving long-term care at home or in institutional settings.

Graphic headlined ‘Luján, Kaine Lead Legislation to Expand Access to Home and Community-Based Care for Older Adults and People with Disabilities,’ with a quote explaining that the HCBS Access Act would expand access to home and community-based care so people who want to stay home and receive care can do so, instead of waiting years on state waiver lists.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

At a 60 hr vigil for Medicaid. The candles represent the over 800,000 people who could lose Medicaid. Congress' reconciliation bill will likely result in almost $1 trillion being stolen. And all to allow billionaires and millionaires to continue to steal money from the most vulnerable.
